We're getting married!!!

It's official, we got engaged last night! And of course I said YES!!! It was sooooo cute...you can see in the picture, Aaron wrote on the onsie "Will you marry daddy" then asked me to marry him too! Of course I was totally excited and said yes....a million times over! We're really happy and excited to share the news with everyone!!!! He did a perfect job picking everything out and surprising me! No date set....we want to get baby here safely first then we'll move onto the next chapter :~) This all happened after visiting with my parents then eating out at T-Tommy's. Thank God for rainy weather, huh???!!!! It was nice to have dinner just ourselves :~)

I finally got the pictures up of the completed bathroom. We've added some accessories since the picture was taken but I wanted to show everyone my new favorite room. I love it!

This last week has been a busy one. Aaron has been busy working and I've been attend all sorts of parties :~) Friday was our friends Andy and Nancy's wedding in Alexandria. Robin and I were eachother's date. We shared a hotel room with her cousin and another friend. We all had a great time. I retired early, but the girls didn't make it back until 3 am. So, we were all up talkign until 4 so it made for a really early morning at 7:30! Everyone looked very nice...Nancy was beautiful in her dress! Aaron was able to take off a little early from work so he went out with Bill...they had a great time too....a little too much fun i'm thinking! It took him til sunday to recover :~)

Saturday was Aaron's great Aunt and Uncle Harris and Edna's 60th wedding anniversary party at KeyLargo. Being the great sport that I am....Aaron had to work, so I attended the family function with the rest of the family. Wow...all I have to say is "Aaron owes me for years to come :~) " The favors i'll be getting from him will be endless! But really, it was a good time...thank goodness Abby and I were a 'couple' since Mike stayed home with Nolan and the rest of his family too.

Sunday was my cousin Loni's baby shower. She is due one month before us...November 10th. She is having a girl too. It's fun, we grew up together and were only 5 months apart too.

Well, I better get back to work. I have to leave early to take my 'pre-nursing' aptitude test today at 1:00 so wish me luck!

Have a great week!

Finally some slow time...

Things have finally seemed to slow down a bit!!!

Aaron has continued to be busy in the field. He is putting in some really long days which will continue until close to the end of November! He'll be working at home with his family just for the rest of this week for the most part and will go back to the elevator probably early next week to start putting on fertilizer for them again...really, really, really long days!!! I probably won't be riding with him much when he's doing that so I've been try to get out there most nights now to chit chat after dinner and I've finished my studies. Beleive it or not...I like it!

Work has been about the same. I'm starting to prepare all my cases to ensure everything is up to date and 'perfect' for when I leave so the fill-in will have a clean start with hopefully no loose strings.

Classes are going well. Took my latest anatomy test last night and got an 'A' so that always helps out!!! Actually disected a sheep's brain the night before last....went better than anticipated :~)

Our Newborn Care class was rescheduled last week, so tonight we are off to that! It's only from 7-9 pm so it'll be a quick one. I told Aaron we get to eat at the new Arby's too! (That's what our life has come to at this point....excitement about the new fast food resturant in town!!!)

Had my 32 wk appointment earlier this week. Everything is as it should be. She's just a busy bee...always movin and groovin!!! Her feet have officially planted themselves comfortably beneith my ribs....comfortable for her! Oh well, only 8 more weeks!

This weekend I'm heading up to Alexandria for a friend's wedding on Friday and back home for a Miller get together Saturday night for a bit before Aaron goes back in the field. Our BIG weekend out!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well! Chat with ya next week!

Fall is here!

It's been a busy couple weeks, however our house projects are finally done for the most part!!!! Aaron and Chris finished up the upstairs bathroom a week ago monday and it was ready for use by Tuesday night! I absolutely LOVE it!!!! I'll try to post pics tonight of it. We still have some little things like the towel bars and decor to hang, but either way, I just love it!!! It's so nice to walk 5 feet to the bathroom at 3 am now rather than through the house and down to the basement for my wee-hour trips!

Aaron has officially been in harvest mode :~) They finished with the beans on Saturday and started the corn yesterday. The weather hasn't exactly cooperated the last few days and it looks like rain for the later part of the week so today he is working around the house getting odds and ends done. Friday and Saturday I rode in the combine for a while with him...I have to admit...it is sorta relaxing! Its really nice actually getting up at the same time in the morning rather than Aaron at 4:45 am and me over an hour later...although I think it's harder to actually get out of bed :~)

Sunday we got to take Les's Corvette to Mankato to do some shopping, get Aaron's hair cut and to visit Ian and Kelly. Found a couple cute newborn outfits...so little!!! We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings and ran into some other friends of ours who were watching the game...for a little too long by that time!!! It was a good time though :~)

I've completed my CNA course until I have the clinicals in Febuary or March. It's nice to have those extra 2 evenings back during the week! My Anatomy and Developmental Psych. are going well too.

Week 31 is already here!!!! I can't beleive we only have 9 weeks before baby girl is going to be here!

Hope everyone has a great week! ~Chow~
